VirtualBox Mac-version-10.10.3 (Yosemite), NAT network issue

[ranjan242526]

I have recently bought a MACBook, running with 10.10.3 (Yosemite). I want to install Vagrant to run parallel systems. Vagrant uses VirtualBox to spin multiple VMs. While doing so I have two observation which is blocking me to proceed further.

# Issues:

1. The Acquired ip through DHCP (NAT) is "10.0.2.15". All the new VM under NAT, acquire the same ip ("10.0.2.15")

2. The Guest VM is not ping able from my Host Machine.

NOTE: I am using Ubuntu-Server 14.04 for my guest VM setup.

# Approach:

# 1 : [FAILED ..] Manually tried creating a VM (instead Vagrant ) I have also tried with all the provided virtual adaptor with NAT mode, unfortunately there is no difference. PCNet PCI II (Am79C970A); PCNet FAST III (Am79C973, the default); Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM); [Default one] Intel PRO/1000 T Server (82543GC); Intel PRO/1000 MT Server (82545EM); Paravirtualized network adapter (virtio-net).

# 2 : [Working] Tried downloading a Box from Vagrant and tried to run, it works perfect.

# 3 : [Working] I have created a the same VM under bridge networking, it is working by acquire the ip from my physical network. and accessible from my Host machine.

# User Story:

I want to create a Base Vagrant VM with custom configuration for my CI setup.

# Reference:

I have also attached the screenshot of VirtualBox Guest VM, Please have a look.

Please let us know, If more info is required for analyse the issue.

NOTE: I have also tried looking to the defect #13104: But couldn't find any relation or clue.

Replying to ranjan242526:

# Issues:

1. The Acquired ip through DHCP (NAT) is "10.0.2.15". All the new VM under NAT, acquire the same ip ("10.0.2.15")
2. The Guest VM is not ping able from my Host Machine.

This is expected and documented behavior.

AFAICS the only remaining point in the list is that you cannot create a VM with Vagrant. As Vagrant != VirtualBox I will close this ticket. For seeking help, please ask the Vagrant folks. For asking such questions like above for VirtualBox, please go to the VirtualBox forums (forums.virtualbox.org).
